I have come to the conclusion the my Black Like 200 is really metalic blue. Or am I seeing things?

I do not own a Like 200i, I just purchased a Kymco GT300i in silver (still awaiting delivery) I wished that the GT300i was available in Red, as the Like is! My older Kymco People S200 came in that same exact Red!

I noticed that most of Kymco USA scooters are built in China now. In fact, only 5 Kymco scoots are built in Taiwan now for the US market. Labor is pretty expensive in Taiwan & Kymco needs to keep their prices affordable. I won't worry if it's built in China, as it's all under the Kymco flag & supervision.

My dealer had a Like200i @ I sat on it. Not bad looking & $2699.00. plus it's FI now. Just that my frame 6' 230lbs. didn't fit well with the Like. My People S200 had the same exact engine, but with a carb. That engine (163cc) never gave me one problem.

I would have gone for the black and Bill, I think you are right. It looked more deep blue in the showroom to me too. I compared it the Honda in the showroom which was a true black. Since it will be my girlfriend's primary commuter she go to choose the LX with the blue and white. Because she chose that one, we have to wait another week for the bike to get here. There were none on the west coast at the time. It's not that I would call it feminine per se, it's just that the black would have been a lot cooler.

wow captainscott you really blinged it out with the chrome rails and all. Is that windshield the Kymco one?

Its the Puig screen from Germany. I went for the sports and the smoked option. On the site they only list for the Like 50 and 125.
Just order the 125 screen and it will fit the 200. Same scoot just slightly bigger engine.
I got it new in May this year and have clocked up 2600K with no problems.
Next spring I plan to fit a sporty exhaust by GPR, should give it a bit more of a growl and maybe hit the magic 70 mph barrier!
Cheers.

I like the look of the puig screen a little more than the kymco one but didn't have any luck finding one either on the site or on ebay. As I have been searching for stuff for this bike for weeks, I came across this a while ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kymco-Like-200-Exhaust-Full-System-Aluminium-Streetfighter-Road-Legal-/130689567631?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1e6db48b8f Is this the one you were thinking of?

Yeah thats the exhaust. I am waiting to the spring as I would rather not fiddle too much with the scoot while its under the first year of warranty.
Look on this site. Like 200i, second page, subject New like 200i owner & windshield question. I put a couple of posts on there with a link to Puig.
Follow instuctions to find the screen. Let me know how you get on.
